Outcomes, not lecture notes.
Design controlled experiments by identifying independent, dependent, and control variables and understanding why replication and sample size matter
Apply statistical tools — including t-tests and chi-square tests — to analyze biological data and draw evidence-based conclusions
Build and interpret line graphs, bar graphs, histograms, and pie charts, and explain what error bars reveal about data reliability
Decode complex biological vocabulary using common scientific prefixes and suffixes
Use Desmos and online scientific calculators to perform and visualize mathematical calculations in a biology context
Explain the properties of covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds and describe why water's unique chemistry is essential to life
Describe the structure and biological function of the four major macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
Communicate experimental findings precisely using scientific language, the way real researchers do
